Basal Body Temperature:  Basal Temperature is the normal body temperature of a healthy person immediately upon awakening in the morning.  This temperature normally rises after ovulation due to hormonal changes.  Thus, a temperature increase near the middle of your menstrual cycle can indicate ovulation has occurred.

Identifying Ovulation Timing:  Tracking your basal temperature can help you to identify ovulation timing.  Temperature Charts are included to help you track your temperature for your menstrual cycles.  By taking your temperature with the BD Basal Digital Thermometer each morning throughout your cycle, a pattern usually becomes visible.  This pattern, along with other indicators can help you determine the timing of your ovulation.  Knowledge of ovulation timing can help you increase or decrease your likelihood of conception.

Seeking Professional Guidance:  Remember that temperature fluctuations and other observations are only indicators of ovulation.  Interpretation of such information requires medical knowledge and training.  Providing your doctor with completed Temperature Charts can help in fertility diagnosis and natural family planning techniques. 

Customer Reviews

a great little tool
I bought this thermometer about a month ago and have been using it to take my basal body temperature every morning. I think it is a wonderful product. Although some reviews said the beep was annoying, I think it is actually a very important feature. It beeps to let you know it is placed correctly. I sure like the peace of mind when I hear that. The display is lit and very easy to read.

I can not believe that someone said she had to run into bathroom to check her temp,because she did not want to wake her husband. Come on! The beep is not loud at all. And..didn't she know that basal temp should be taken the first thing in the morning without any unnecessary movements? I think husbands should actually help wives take basal temp by inserting the thermometre into their wives' mouths. This way, we can reduce our movements to minimum! My husband does this for me everyday!

One more suggestion for those who want to keep your latest result in the thermometre's memory for more than one reviewing. Whenever you turn on the thermometre to review the result, turn it off BEFORE the display begins to flash. After it flashes, it will become blank and ready for your next test. Your last temp will not be there any more. As long as you shut it off before it flashes, your latest result will always be there till you take your basal temp next time.

By the way, 1/10 degree F is precise enough for basal temp. Non-basal temp thermometres are 2/10. 1/100 is not necessary at all since on basal temp chart, we only record like 97.6, 98.2...

Hope this helps. I like this thermometre very much. Hope you will like it too.

Don't let the negative reviews fool you!
I've tried the Omron (Walmart) which died after using it about a month, and also the CVS pharmacy brand (2 of them) both of which were DOA and had to replace batteries only to have them die a week later! YES, a WEEK!! I couldn't find the BD brand anywhere and had to buy it online and boy am I so glad I did! Yes it beeps. But I'm so glad it does. When I take my temp I'm usually half asleep still and with the other thermometers I never knew if it was working. I was always waiting for the finishing beep and half the time the battery was half dead so 10 minutes later the thermometer was still in my mouth! And if you know when using a BBT you shouldn't really move around, so I didn't want to take out the thermometer and check to see if it was working only to have to start all over again! It was soo annoying! But I LOVE this thermometer! It's great and it's the one that the Taking Charge of Your Fertility recommends!

Great way to take BBT
I got this BBT thermometer about 4 months ago. It works wonderfully. The best part is that the display is lit, so those of us that get up early, don't have to turn the light on. Also, it keeps the most recent temp. in it's memory, so you don't have to write down the temp right away. It's great.
